Dr. Rabia
Dr. Rabia is a resident of both Cairo and the Sinai and has been leading desert pilgrimages for over three decades. His gift is in his intimate knowledge of the Sinai and the Bedouin people as well as his roots in Coptic Christianity. He was trained as a medical physician but taking friends to the desert is his true passion. Dr. Rabia and Regina have been guiding desert pilgrimages together for 20 years. Rabia lives in Cairo with his wife, Heba, and their 2 young adult children. His wish for us is to have a wonderful and authentic time in Egypt.
